You can stop struggling.
It was officially called the Liverpool Diocesan Church House, and replaced an earlier 1870s building.
The foundation stone of the first section (shown in your photo) was laid by the Countess of Derby on 1 August, 1899.
That section was opened on 18 May 1901.
The second section was opened on 11 November 1912.
Memory tells me the architect was George Bradbury who was the Diocese's architect.
He designed at least half a dozen Liverpool churches.

The Diocese of Liverpool moved into their present premises in 1956 (the former Mersey Mission to Seamen.)
